You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Tigh has chosen Tylium Planet. We will not be risking a raptor for extra Fuel. Why? Well, he has a story about that. It revolves around just what he's been making his moonshine from, and why, when he's sufficiently hammered, he tells everyone that he really throws himself into his work and then giggles for five minutes straight. Apollo's crisis card is:

Skill Check! Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please send me COs to pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Baltar plays first, Apollo last.

In addition, all human players, please send me COs for your discard, should the check fail.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Helo)

I agree we have to go for the skill check. Unfortunately I can only help a little.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Baltron)

Morale is saved? Well, let's see what we can do about that.
